He took Arkansas of all places to a BCS bowl, he would win national championships there. If you all over look the baggage he would be winning in zero time.


I will believe you if you name me one SEC champion without a top 10 recruiting class. Recruiting is the most important thing in college football. Petrino is arguably the best xs and os coach out there, but he has to resort to second tier players. Until I see a team win a national championship or SEC championship without a top 10 recruiting class, I believe Petrino has a ceiling.

Arky is in a very good position because of him now and if you all get a great recruiter, Arky has a very real possibility of winning the SEC.

his disadvantage with recruiting was specifically Arkansas and for whatever reason the recruiting people would always rank our recruits low. For example Brandon Allen at Fayetteville, he committed as a 3 star went on to final at a 4 star but would have been a 5 star had he committed to LSU who recruited him. The BIG recruits follow the BIG programs and the stars and money follows. Just the way it is.
